At this point I wouldn’t trade Eddie for any manager in the world.

This is modern day football please get used to it.

Super league or no super league, those clubs for more money exactly as they wanted to.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure PIF would love to bring Jose, to the pro league. His profile really suits what they are looking for. in terms of us, not at all.

His agent

Rushed back and ran into the ground since being rushed back because we had no other options. this is just the way things have worked out, he needs a proper rest and rehabilitation to get him firing again.

I think having an out and out creative central midfielder means we need to change our entire game plan which I don’t think is feasible given all of our recruitment has been geared towards our current style of play. What the club does need to do is be ruthless I’m afraid, we can only have 25 players max so anyone who is injured too frequently basically has to be replaced. If the average first team player is going to be 40-50m we can only replace 3 a year due to FFP. it’s a really tough job and you can see why nobody has consistently bridged the gap between the big teams since FFP came in.

It’s not known, even Caulking and Waugh claim not to know.

Howe isn’t going anywhere and rightfully so. The club knew this season would be extremely difficult and I’m sure what we’ve experienced thus far is even harder than what they forecasted. We’ve had the worst draws I can remember as well as the worst injury crisis. The club is all in on Howe, it’s quite evident by not only the players we’ve bought but also factors such as appointing his nephew as scout.

What?

Are you watching the game? Haven’t you seen our energy levels fall off a cliff?

I’m a huge fan of Isak but his defending there was proper low effort and not really in keeping with our teams ethos.

This was likely after they equalised tbh, our lads don’t have anything more to give.

So naive from us on both goals.

Bruno looks totally gassed here mind

Leao was slightly offside no? Unless Uefa have a different rule than the PL

Good half that, I hope we can maintain our intensity.

Threatening will do nothing though, they will have to actually strike which is really difficult for them to actually do. They will make enemies of everyone if they were to do so. The best hope is some form of amicable solution but that means someone getting less money, and in capitalism; boy do people hate getting less money even if they have more than they could ever need.

Absolutely, unfortunately players are a disposable commodity. Federations and owners want more games as it means more revenue the players who are of course employees have to suck it up.

Indeed, it makes zero difference to them. from what I read the spending they are doing isn’t meant to be a long term thing either, was meant to be an initial shot but given how it’s gotten them nowhere I wonder if that changes. The dodgy dealings from Abramovich day should see them in hot water anyways.

He’s on absolutely massive money as well.

Reece James meant to be out for 3 months. Ouch.

Welcome to the transfer rumour thread, assumptions is all we’ve got. Some points are actual fact though.

Oh very simple. 1, if we view him as an upgrade. 2, he’s younger 3, he fits our profile 4, Pope was cheap so if you wanted to massage FFP people is a candidate 5, Pope has popped this shoulder twice now, having him as undisputed number 1 represent massive risk.

Managers and being economical with the truth name a more iconic duo. As I mentioned, we don’t know how the manager rates him and of course this is all speculation. But seriously, you don’t think Arsenal would bite someone’s hand off for say 40m? and don’t get me wrong here, I’m not advocating for this, I’m not a fan of ramsdale or side grading but I could see it happen.
